Thanks Marcel!! Anybody got any suggestions as to what to use to make the Chassis? Im not to sure about using the Stock chassis becuase it doesnt look like its very heavy duty enough for a 1 ton!

You should be able to use the chassis from a dually pickup like the Ford or even the phantom dually street rod... I don't remember them making a Chevy but I could be wrong.

I believe there is also a resin COE out there you might look at to see if the cost is less than the work you are going to put in.

I have wanted to do one of these but just never got the ambition... yet...

This is going to be fun to watch!I really love these stub nose trucks....How hard is the hood going to be to get it to fit?

Keep the updates rolling along.

Couldn't you just modify 2 stock frames to make a beefier frame that would match a COE frame? Just a thought. I figure you'll need 2 cabs for that extra cab anyways so might as well put the rest of the parts to use as well right? :unsure:

There was just a thread on a Chevy COE a few months back on the HAMB forums. Heres the link and some others...

Wow that is nice. As for the frame. If you are going to make it a street rod many people that the either dually truck chassies or the more big rig chassies and put it on that. Crapn a answere to ur question. As many as will fit. :P:D
